Hey Mike,

I wouldn't host an exhibit like this or touch it with a ten foot poll, in
other words.  You are leaving yourself open for a whole lot of hate and
potential disruptions and problems at your museum.  My advice to you and your
museum is to rethink your decision about this exhibit.  Take a lesson from
the Smithsonian and their timebomb situation with the Enola Gay exhibit.
Controversy for the sake of it is not worth it.

While I do not believe in censorship, I believe a little common sense is in
order here.  Find another exhibit and topic that will be educational and
exciting to your audience.  You really do not want to invite trouble just for
the sake of publicity.

Regards,

Todd Kreamer
Curator of History
The Museum of Mobile
Mobile, AL
